The Environmental Media Association (EMA) has long served as a valuable link between the media and the environmental community and their efforts have attracted some of the biggest names in Hollywood and corporate America.

Jaden Smith will host the 27th Annual EMA Awards benefit, presented by Toyota and Lexus, on Sept. 23 in Los Angeles to honor those that are leading by example and using their voice to help promote solutions in innovation and activism to combat the current administration’s rollback on funding.

Academy Award and Golden Globe winner Natalie Portman will be honored alongside three-term Mayor of New York City, founder of Bloomberg Media, Bloomberg Philanthropies and author of Climate of Hope, Michael R. Bloomberg. Portman will receive the EMA Ongoing Commitment Award and Bloomberg will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Many stars are expected along with the filmmakers including Natalie Portman who will be appearing as a producer this time, of the documentary Eating Animals. That movie will be having a reception where you can be assured they won’t be serving meat.

Asked about bringing a “feminizing” point of view to her art, Portman categorically rejected the male-female division implicit in the question. “I don’t really think there’s such a thing; there’s different point of views, and every human being has a different point of view,” she said. “There’s not a male-female difference. There are differences in the way are socialized. I find myself, when I go to express anger or embarrassment, I cry — that’s my first instinct — and I feel that’s a socialization thing, not a natural thing. I don’t think we teach girls how to express themselves in as many different colors as men.”

Like Waters, she cautioned the audience about the danger of living in “a disposable culture. If something is broken, throw it out, get something new. We’re literally facing an existential threat because of it. And it affects how we are as people, too, our relationships with people. If you spend all day going, ‘Something’s broken, throw it out,’ how are you going to be in a relationship?”

Meryl Streep will present her Doubt co-star Amy Adams with this year's American Cinematheque Award.

Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hanks, Chris Messina, Natalie Portman and Kristen Stewart will also be on hand at the Nov. 10 event to toast the Arrival actress.

The storyline revolves around Foxy’s motorbike road trip across the most surreal parts of America – into a psychedelic dimension known as the O-Zone - to retrieve a stolen roll of film containing compromising pictures of her best-friend, singer Ronnie.

Portman is producing under her Fairy Dust banner and will also voice a secondary role. Bold Films are also on board as producers as is Prynoski for Titmouse.

A script will be available at the AFM for the film which is currently in pre-production.

Wild Bunch will launch sales on two animated features: Ari Folman’s Where Is Anne Frank?, an adaptation of his own graphic novel, and Foxy Trotter, about the psychedelic adventures of a female rock photographer in 1970s Los Angeles, which Natalie Portman is producing. The actress-producer will hit the market for a special presentation. New live-action titles include Pablo Trapero’s La Quietud and Régis Roinsard’s The Translators.
